Doclisboa seeks to imagine reality through new cinematic forms of perception, reflection and action, placing filmmaking into dialogue with its history to question the present of cinema. Doclisboa is interested in films that are rigorous about their conceptual and formal implications; films that experiment with cinema’s artistic and political possibilities and refuse to be categorized; films that engage with and mirror the complexity of the world. Doclisboa offers a ground where cinema and the contemporary are investigated as acts of being together in, and with, time.

La vida en común

Ezequiel Yanco

2019 • Argentina, France • 70’

A puma stalks an indigenous community in the North of Argentina. Hunting is a rite of passage, and the older boys want to kill the puma. But Uriel chooses a different path. The local government built twenty-four concrete tents in the middle of the desert. A modern camp to where lots of ranqueles from nearby cities moved. It is the origin of a community, and the origin of a scenography that is also the protagonist of this film.
